PROPANE SUPPLY

You must provide propane gas and propane
tank(s).

Use this heater only with a propane vapor
withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5 of
the  Standard for Storage and Handling of
Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58
and/or CAN/CGA B149.2.
 Your local library
or fire department will have this booklet.

The amount of propane gas ready for use
from propane tanks varies. Two factors de-
cide this amount.

1.

The amount of liquid propane gas in
tank(s)

2.

The temperature of tank(s)

The chart below shows the minimum num-
ber of 100-pound tanks needed to run the
heater. Connect tanks together with a mani-
fold. Do not operate this product with any
tank smaller than 100 pounds.

Less gas is vaporized at lower temperatures.
Two or more 100-pound tanks or one larger
tank may be needed in colder weather. Your
local propane gas dealer will help you select
the proper supply system.
